While Eric Wood was traveling back
from his first Pro Bowl in Hawaii, The Eric Wood
Foundation was hard at work in Buffalo.

Tuesday afternoon, The Eric Wood
Foundation delivered four Xbox Ones to Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Microsoft
donated the gaming devices to The Eric Wood Foundation to help support its
mission of providing daily encouragement and life-changing experiences for
seriously ill, special needs and physically challenged children throughout
Buffalo.

Executive board members delivered
the Xbox Ones in Wood's place (pictured).

The devices will be used by
patients to make their hospital stays just a little bit better. The average
length of stay at Roswell Park Cancer Institute is 8.6 days, so the devices are
a welcomed distraction.

This donation is a small part of
the growing relationship with Roswell Park. Earlier this winter, The Eric Wood
Foundation hosted patients at "Operation Big Santa." The holiday program
surprised attendees with a shopping trip to Target with Wood and his teammates.

Wood's dedication to the Buffalo
area community has been recognized by his team and teammates. He was voted by
his teammates to represent the franchise as its Byron "Whizzer" White Award
nominee. The Byron "Whizzer" White Award recognizes players who go above and
beyond to perform community service in their team cities and hometowns. In
addition, the Bills named Wood as their Man of the Year and nominee for the
NFL's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
